I've put in two; one in our 172 and one in our Sonoma.  Each time I was able to route  a short run of wire from the distribution panel's 12v side to the destination with the wires concealed behind the wall.  I used 14 gau. stranded wire.  I connected the wire to a little used circuit with a 15 amp fuse.  Here's what I installed:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P5MZ111/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Remove the inside wall of the upper cabinet by the entrance door you can place a DC/USB outlet there and tap into the power at the one of other switches. That's what I did.

I have a 2017 179. It does not have any DC outlets. Can anyone recommend a good spot for placement. Where did you tap into the wires, and how did you access those wires. The easiest spot I am considering is behind the TV which can be accessed by taking out the stereo. Thank you for your suggestions.
